Aries Spears praised Black Thought for his recent 10-minute freestyle, which led to a comparison about the new crop of rappers today. The famed comedian explained that he's not mad at the new rappers for being young, he's mad at them for being "lazy," adding that they should cut out the "Dr. Seuss" raps and step it up.
During the conversation, Aries also spoke about rap being a franchise and hoping that the new rappers don't mess things up, which you can hear more about in the above clip. - บันเทิง
Black thought is the essence of being a real MC...
SyrupSippin' LoudSmoker do you think lil pump, Lil pop, Lil pee and rest little dudes trying to come up know who black thought is
jim focus Famous Dex does...
SyrupSippin' LoudSmoker ...the Essence for real
So true.
Love Black Thought and yes he is the real essence of a real MC! The only issue is that he does not have a high solo catalogue. But far as skills, he is just as good as Rakim and the others on the greatest list.
Vlad. You're like 50 years old and listen to Lil Yachty. Your hip-hop credibility is in the toilet.
Black Thought is so good that it brings a tear to my eye thinking about it. That guy is emceeing at it's height. He's the gold standard.
"I ain't one of ya'll peers/ I'm the sum of all fears/ Somebody stronger than me?/ who that? I am all ears
"
"Like Obama". His ears definitely was on 213%
Like obama , i wish he had another 4 years
Y’all a bunch of jolly good Hollywood squares
Exactly
Wack
Black thought is underrated as fuck
Mcnash Productions your favorite rappers favourite rapper 😉
A lot of rappers are
Biracial Bombshell Barbie look him up bombshell Barbie
As FUCK
Not To Those Who Know
Vlad has no credibility after his Black Thought comments
Duvious And his Nas comments
FACTS
He had none after he said "Barter 6 is better than anything Lil Wayne has ever released".
I don't understand how you can host a channel about hip hop and know practically nothing about it.
What a bunch of shit that anyone wouldn't put BT on a list because he is in a *group* Let's unpack this, the majority of the vocals,vocal arrangements/hooks/melodies & lyrics were written & done by Tariq. He's one of hip hop's not only greatest Mc but greatest SONGWRITERS of hip hop. We are talking close to 30 years in hip hop. from Organix to And then you Shoot your Cousin. Mark my words, Roots will go in Rock Roll Hall of Fame just like Run Dmc did. That's how important they are as icons to Hip Hop. Christ, they are on NBC five nights a week at 11:30. Who else in Hip Hop can transition to that? No one else would have the skill set to do that.
Who cares if he doesn't have a solo album. Jimmy Page only had one fucking solo album but he's still one of the greatest guitarists ever in rock n roll. FOH with this "but he was in a group"
Black Thought is pure talent. As far as ability, he’s top 5. Forget the hype and commercialism, Black Thought would rap circles around these modern day lyricists.
"We don't hate on y'all cuz your young. We hate on y'all cuz your lazy" A truer sentence has never been spoken
Vlad you had nothing to do with Thought's freestyle 😂...stop dis!
KardiFan2000 😂😂😂😂😂 Vlad be really talking out his ass and majority of the time he doesn't know what he is talking about.
"I put a battery in his back" lmao...really Vlad? Cmon Son!
KardiFan2000 vlad just wasnt checkin for BT and was sleepin. Bad business smh that Brotha freestyled many times on shows like an animal before him and jamar had that talk. Vlad just gotta catch up. BT been a MC elite
D The Chemist WORD!!!!!
I picked up on that also. I'm like dog, you're giving yourself wayyyyy too much credit. lol
This white dude thinks he inspired black thought to spit fire. This tells me you know nothing about pure rap.
EXACTLY! I am from Philadelphia and, he has done this since day 1!
Exactly. Vlad been sleep at the wheel & is so arrogant enough to think he inspired BT to do, what he’d already been doing prior to Vlad being remotely relevant, speaks volumes. When BT flamed Lil Fame, Sean P & Dead Prez in that one freestyle, I guess Vlad inspired that iiiish too? FOH, Russkie
Hahaha for real the day I hear a rapper say "vlad inspired me to make better music" is the day I will actually die of laughter.
Yawovi E. Man that bothered me SO MUCH BRO!.....making himself relevant. He wouldn’t understand the influence of Thought. No one would that can’t put a black pic with a fist in in their hair and it stays, they couldn’t ever understand.
Black Thoughts freestyle was the best 10 minutes of rap I've ever heard!!!
PERIOD!
I pull it up 5yrs later and still hear messages from his rap that I missed!!!
And the way he performed it---ONE TAKE, NO BUILD UP, NO BREAK---
FLAWLESS!
NO ONE DID IT BETTER---NO ONE!
Aries was spot on with this Young generation.. Being Young isn't an Excuse for being Lazy, PERIOD...
We don't hate on y'all cuz u young. We hate on y'all cuz you lazy."💯
Christie Thomas
*FACTS💯……I really could’ve said it better‼️*
Christie Thomas exactly
Christie Thomas 🤔
Amen
💯
Black Thought was dope waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy before Vlad's misguided comment.
no batteries neccesary when you run on pure fire. stop.
That freestyle was essentially Vlad closing out the year with an L for his previous comments.
I MEAN!!!!!!! He said J Cole was better than Thought...smh. He is lame and has no real cred.
pure fire
Vlad just don’t say anything about hip hop ever again in your entire life n we’ll be ok
😂😂😂
You have rappers
You have MC's
You have Black Thought
The fact vlad said he's not on j coles level I can't respect him AT ALL
ikr j cole is one of the best but black thought is the goat
@@FunkyD47 jcole is fucking shit compared to Black though. Not even comparable
Marios I wouldn’t say that.. they’re different artists
@@mstefanidis1841
J.cole is good, pure
But there is just more Gravity in BT
No sleeping on cole he legendary
Its just BT is My level where u never see him not give a classic performance
Exactly. Enough said.
Rakim was 18 when he wrote Eric B is President. Shit LL was 15-16 when he wrote Rock The Bells. Wasn't 20 til 88 and was already a legend. No excuse for the new rappers
Dre K B maybe the best hip hop album of the 20th century, 'Illmatic' was written by a 16 to 17 year old Nas.
Nas wasn't 16 though man he was like 21 when it came out.
It was still rare to see a dude that young who is that skilled. Most kids of that era weren't that pen savvy either.
No excuses at all!!
Top 5 plz??
Don't sleep... a few people don't know that Aries Spears is nice when it comes to rapping
Black thought is easily in anyone's top ten if you know what it takes to make a great MC. He's in my top 5 no problem. Such an inspiration to me. Vlad, for someone so deep in this culture to put jay z ahead of black thought....I think you are nutty bro.
I agree or at least he has to be seriously considered if he isn't in your top ten you better have a damn good list. He would be in mine but I would have a list that wouldn't include a lot of people who have ever been played on mainstream radio.
Vlad you are NOT the reason of Black Thought being dope or throwing a dope fresstyle. EVERY MC throws a freestyle on that show.
Pastori Nestori Vlad pulled a uppity white man (not all white folk), trying to take credit from a brotha when he has nothing to do with it yell
LMFAO vlad thinks he made black thought spit that verse?? like he hasn't been doing exactly that his whole career, vlads a fukn idiot culture vulture.
Maybe...what Black did was nothing short of brilliant.
Yup vlad needs to listen more. Stfu. But thx for the videos.
Rakim was 17 when he wrote the Paid in Full album. Age is no excuse to be WACK
Marcus Hayes Word.
Marcus Hayes Couldn't agree with you more.
It’s possible but people ain’t built like rappers like Rakim
Marcus Hayes,
Yes sir. Salute Rakim and the other young rap pioneers; age ain't no excuse for classic material!
*2Pac* 19 when he wrote, *2Pacalypse Now,* (album)
*KRS-One* 21 when he wrote *Criminal Minded,* (album).
*B.I.G* 21 when he wrote *Ready to Die,* (album).
List goes on...
Robert Bold nas 18/19 when he wrote Illmatic
Keep callin' 'em out Aries! And Lord Jamar was on point with his comments too. Real hip hop heads know. Apparently Vlad don't know.
Yes he was brother Lord Jamar went too deep also he checked him about the ignorance of not being there when Lord Jamar was class will never get it
I'm 35 yo and that freestyle made me wanna be a rapper when I grow up
Vlad taking credit for what Thought did like he hasn't been doing this for decades. Dude went back and forth with the god Big Pun. Stop it.
Randy Chambers FACTS!
greatest lyrical track pun & black thought almost 20 years and i still bump it
That was mighty white of him
Black Thought has doing this since DAY ONE. This is a fact. Way before Vladimir was even a thought on the scene. Who are you to even assume you put a battery in HIS back?
Knainas Seretse-Khama facts blk thought been killing it since the 90’s
I was thinking the same thing. Vlads taste in hip hop is shit and he's made his opinion irrelevant from the shit he's said
Vlad is a faker
Facts
Facts thank you, he acts like we give a damn about him at all! Get to steppin VLAB
“Nas was 19 when he wrote Illmatic” .. mic drop 💯
I 100% agree with Lord Jamal. Black Thought is a true Master of Ceremonies. In every sense of the word. The Roots didn't need gadgets. They did it live. And they didn't need features. They had him. Now this guy is freestyling on National TV every weeknight while taking time out to slay radio stations. All those people DJ Vlad named are songwriters, poets, and composers. Black Thought is a emcee. He stands alone in his field. Number 1 in it. There is no one in hip hop emceeing (not just making songs, not just touring, but Moving the Crowd weekly) emceeing quite the way, or on the level that Black Thought is doing it. And to tell you the truth, I don't think no one can.
"Lil pump is like 17"....."Nas was 19 when he wrote illmatic". Damn
L's Down nas was 17 going into 18
Mobb Deep were what like 18-19 when they wrote The Infamous. Nas was 17 or some shit when he wrote Illmatic. Listen to an Astro freestyle when he's like 15.
The age thing is definitely a cop out.
Joey Bada$$ was also 16-17 when he wrote 1999.
Actually, he was 18 through 20 yoa. In 1992, the lead song off of the Zebrahead (movie) soundtrack was Halftime. He was 18 then. Illmatic was completed in 94 when he was 20. " I woke up early on my born day, I'm 20, it's a blessing, The essence of adolescence leaves my body ... "
Jake Quinsee " I'm only 19, but my mind is old, and when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold... " Classic.
#Prodigywill4everSHINE
#rip
It is crazy that Nas wrote "Illmatic" before he was old enough to buy liquor
DJBVA08 most great rappers started as teens...
cortez smith FACTS
Central District FACTS
He was actually younger than 19 when most of those tracks were done.
DJBVA08 Aries cut off Vlad about "there's always been wack party music in rap". Facts. But "But it's never been the dominant". That was an escape because rap is about lyricism and talking about yours or our struggle in a lyrical manner. Now that's in the back burner because of corporate greed. I don't blame the "rappers" who are capitalizing off it, just the people in the position of power who are pushing it. If Nas can give us the Hip Hop bible before "that buck that bought a bottle...", Pac gave us "Brenda's got a baby" at 20 and they had a lot less resources back then as far as research material, why we keep giving these kids a pass talking about they are only 19, or 20 or 21...what about Joey Bad@$$?
this vlad dude in love with his own self-importance and hype...
We can't blame Vlad he doesn't get the seed of history that was inbeded in the inner circle of black thoughts being the whisper of the denoi tribe the chants of the underground and the butcher of Nat Turner the insight of Langston Hugh's and the determined mind travel of Mandela he will never understand that
Facts
This fool vlad put j cole in the same list as rakim, krs, 😂😂😂😂😂. Black thought is better than 95% of mcs
Vlad is a straight cornball
Shikamaru Nara How is the hidden leaf now these days?
Nas was 19 when he wrote illmatic. ----The quote that ends all conversations. #Genius
He was actually 16 when he wrote it, 18 when it was released. That makes it even crazier right?
WAVES & WALLYS yes it does, and he even had some of It was written done, at the same time
That’s expecting everyone who pics up a basketball to be Jordan , that’s not gonna happen
Ice Cube was 19 when he wrote Amerikkka's Most Wanted and 17 when he wrote most of Eazy E's songs . Crazy !!
When it comes to Black Thought and lyrics i believe he's Nas immutable. His lyrics challenge me intellectually to get some vocabulary into my brain. He makes me wonder what books he reads and why. That level of lyricism does not come from just hanging out in the hood and observing stuff. That's some "Brother Polight" level of brain stimulation. That to deserves more respect than amount of money in any rapper's bank account.
Black has always been my #1. The Roots has always been the most under valued group in hip hop. When they got the Jimmy Falon gig that solidified it!
Black Thought is in a class all by himself. Stop trying to put him in a category or compare him with “anybody”.
Hello gorgeous
Agreed
You hit it out the park!
Facts
Wow y'all dudes on here see a pretty face and you got your dicks out agreeing to whatever she says lol. Black thought is a rapper just like any other, he can definitely be comparable.
Aries is right the rap game today is garbage
Camilo alias GELO Baena yup the ,90 rap was the shit
100% absolutely hot garbage
A lot of you want the hot 100 to show you where great hip hop is, it's still around and nobody's supporting it.
Impending Doom thank you
Kendrick would wash 90% if rappers in the 90s
He said " My passport pages are like War and Peace". Decipher that: First you need to know what War and Peace is. War and Peace is one of the greatest and largest novels ever written. It was written by Leo Tolstoy. Why would your passport pages need to be as many as one of the largest novels every written? Because you travel a lot. How would a rapper come to know about that book? Not unless he's an intellectual who reads, he said in one of the lyrics during the free style " he's a recording artist/ psychology professor. Anyone who can drop a ten minute long freestyle of nothing but solid thought provoking vocabulary is a real MC in my book. Forget the Gucci Gang crap it ain't mentally stimulating anyone.
Not only that bar but the line "I'm the griot (a storyteller) that makes you wanna peacock your arms (put your hands in the air) ...he has so many jewels in that freestyle.
Bro big up to you for the comment💯 reach all the way back to The Roots’ album titled Organix.
Lmao. Been thru war and peace
“I tell stories like fingerprints in blood splatter”
Yawn....., here we go again. A white man takin' credit for another black man's genius.
Cry me a river..
Norwegian Chill leave Justin Timberlake out of this .
Moore Jeff Lmfao holy shit
Facts. Culture vulture white boys kill me cuz
Bo Steward Vultures are scavengers that prey on dead animals. Are you insinuating the Culture, in which you are referring to, is dead?
Aries Spears straight up schooled Vlad straight up
Facts
Go listen to Ludacris, Nelly, E-40, Lil Wayne and the like...THOSE rappers were able to make club bangers that actually had lyrical content.
You're right Playboy Ludacis,Wayne, and Ti all have the incredible talent of being ratchet and wity..
😂😂😂 you can't be serious
Ludacris kills it lyrically on these tracks
1)HIP HOP QUOTABLES
2)HOPELESS
3)TELL IT LIKE IT IS
4)MVP
5)I DO IT FOR HIP HOP
Yo Aries knows his story no doubt. The 90's was the golden Era of Rap music. Blackthought was a very competitive rapper back then, too. Facts! "To the beat u'll it goes on and on and on..." those were the kind of jams we were bouncing our heads to
Thought has always been thought! Vlad why would you think you inspired him? Foh!
Shawn mcleod black thought wasnt thinking about him
Marc Regal Vlad need to admit he was sleeping!
yea vlad is hilarious
Exactly! Vlad tryina make himself sound important. That freestyle ain't have nothing to do with him.
Shawn mcleod lmao this vulture tryna take credit for black thoughts freestyle.
"Yea I put a battery n his back" LMAO @ WHITE DELUSIONS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Vlad said J Cole is over Black Thought 😂
He been sipping on something strong bro!
Lost all his points
Is he fucking crazy?
😂😂😂
Dogs And Yoga J Cole would disagree with Vlad🤣😂🤣
Woah there vlad, did u say jcole before blackthought?
Thats an automatic disqualification for you, instant dumski status
The whole beauty of BT to me is that there ain't anybody who fill in with the roots and be able to check their ego or put down their iPhone.
You can take your top 3 list and they still could not match him bar for bar..
Plus his bars are high grade intelligent and impactful.
So you prolly should stop smoking that shit. Or stop commenting on anything to do with mc's
Special Ed was 18 when he wrote "Got it Made" 🔥💯
Vlad. You on the wrong side of history on this one.
Vlad you did-not put the battery on his back
Yeah that ish is laughable
Aries misquoted Black Thought, it was doper than he remembers
"I tell a story like fingerprints and blood splatter"
Black Thought said: “Inside of my right palm the mark of the stigmata.”
That ended every conversation about Thought.
that line is garbage bro
Vlad is pure high fructose corn syrup.
Lmao
If you don't like it turn it off! I am 44, and I like all types of rap, stop hating on the youth!
The Black Manga Critic lmaooooooo
+Eric Richardson some a these youth is trash though and they gotta know it. 17 year old kids mumblin about zanax and lean is sad I can't believe ppl watch it and promote it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Black thought has always been a legend #Facts VLAD IS A GUEST IN HIP-HOP
dupree rabb Facts. Vlad lame ass fuck
If he saying he feeling Lil Pump, then he's a guest for real, lol. But, most all modern listeners are guests then.
They're all guests and they need to be reminded of that
Taradise34 I ain’t gone be a guest
Word... vlad should know about Black Thought.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 I'm an Aries and you know what this Aries here is speaking straight truth because that's what Aries do.
What he said about Biggie's "Niggaz Bleed" is exactly what I was thinking. That's why it's one of my favorite Biggie tracks.
Vlad wants credit for the black thought freestyle LOL !!
Foolish Observer No disrespect bro let’s look at it this way. If Flaco thought joined in the conversation with him and Jamar then he obviously was affected by what DJ vlad said. so there is credibility to statement.
Vlad is the world's worst agent.
Foolish Observer I said that same thing
Vlad stop it... Nigga u good at interviews dont act like your an actually hip hop historian...
Flex Luger why cant he be
"Brain matter contains too much data, I tell a story like finger prints and blood Splatter"
Omg at the end. When he says "Nas was 19 when he wrote illmatic. Dont give me that age shit!" LOOOOL
Awesome ending
Thank you Aries
Tupac died at 25. That age excuse is just that, an excuse.
ANTHONY LAWSTON Word Tupac was like 19/20 when he dropped 2pacalyspe Now
ANTHONY LAWSTON And he lived a lifetime🙌🏽
How many Tupac's were around at that time that you can name?
@@Blackisbeautifull96 2pocalypse isnt a top album.
Marios Your opinion... but that’s not the point
I just watched that black thought freestyle for the first time!! Dammmmnnnnn!!!!
That is what a lyricist is in the rap game, PERIOD!!
Aries thinks these new dudes are lazy but it has nothing to do with laziness. They simply don't have the mental capacity to write real lyrics. No mc will ever tell u writing their rhymes was hard work. It's effortless for them, it's natural. It's a talent. These new dudes just don't have talent.
Talent and a gift are a part of that, but discipline is definitely there too - Royce has mentioned before why writing
eading matters. You can see it and hear it in the metaphors and literary allusions of these 'gifted' emcees, you dont just know those things, you dont just pull good metaphors out of nowhere, there is definitely study and practice at least for the likes of black thought and others. So yeah blaming it on talent is lazy imo, examine what you're good at push that, no excuse for anyone rapper or not.
For them “not having the mental fortitude” how, in an age where there’s MORE informational access than what’s previously known in history??
Lazy.
Low Pulse it’s one of the negative outcomes the internet/social media put out when it was created, look at Soulja boy or ASAP Rockys interviews about the internet and social media, even though it gave people platforms of their own to reach out to people all over and gain attention of labels looking for talent it also brought in people that weren’t fully into the craft of rap and hip hop just embracing their own work and what they liked, it just managed to gain popularity within the world and just created different sounds, styles(including lifestyles), and much more relatable things for many people. Lil peep was an example of anxiety, depression, heavy consumption of drugs, etc. Just key issues that have been rising nowadays within the US specifically the youth having a connection to this artist and understanding what he feels, relating to him.
Aries Spears spittin nothing but facts.
So true.
Exactly
Did I just hear Vlad try to take credit for Black Thought snapping on the mic?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?
Vlads self absorbed attitude is the very reason I unsubscribed from Vladtv. The ONLY reason I occasionally got to his site is for the people he has on. When the is content elsewhere, he gets no views from me.
Larry Bass That's how I feel about Wackademics.
Gambit Wilson absolutely
The the exact reason i unsubscribed from him. Self absorbed. Be proud of your company but stop talking about yourself and let your work speak for itself.
Gambit Wilson yes you did!!! Everyone he interviews and every topic that is on the table he finds a way to interject his resume into the discussion!!!!
I never saw this. How glad taking credit for the black thought freestyle
Thank you Mr. Spears as this shit was long overdue and needs to be addressed. This was actually some deep shit!!
Vlad lost points for this
😂😂😂 facts
VERY MUCH SO SMH!
BLACK Thought was an phenomenal M.C. even before he perfected his style, breath control and cadence.
He’s sounded the same from day one. He was Bruce Leroy from day one perfect what. He came in perfect on sections he’s sounds just like he did a few months ago
There's a historical precedent that must be acknowledged here.
This is one of the realest interviews I've ever heard. Enough said!!
So Vlad gave Black Thought the motivation to step up his lyrical game?! Talk about egoism...
More like, Vlad is just sleeping on what real MCing is and only now is willing to concede that Thought is THAT NIGGA!
Vlad you were the reason for Black Thoughts freestyle? Man he does that on a regular you were just wrong for not knowing how dope he was....LOL! Lord Jamar-1 Vlad-0 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂Facts
Lord Jamar-99 Vlad-0
I can’t believe it took that freestyle for everyone to raise hell… he’s ALWAYS been that nice. He is thee greatest to walk earth. I’m telling you
He’s always always been that awesome since do you want more
And you’re CRAZY that rob base song racks!!! It takes 2 is epic.
I agree with you but I think that freestyle even though I don't think it was actually 100% off the top (and that doesn't matter 1 bit to me because it was all still done on the spot marvelously) really showed a lot of people just how insane he is. What he did in that freestyle was something that 90% of Mcs couldn't come close to even if they wrote it nowdays.
".... They tried to brand me on cheek, with a Fleur De Lis...." When the man said this, I was DONE! Thought is one if not the GREATEST lyricist of all time!!!
Tim Burton Batman villains lol🤣🤣🤣😂😆😆
Facts where the fuck is Ben Affleck's Batman when you need him not Tim Burton ' Batman.
Angelico Smith Tim Burton is the director he directed the Batmans with Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer
Donald Nelson I know that what I'm saying is that Tim Burton's Batman wouldn't kill them but Ben Affleck's Batman would as supposed to a real EMCEE like Black Thought would kill these Tim Burton like EMCEES and MC Hammer wouldn't get it .
Aries spitting facts 💯
You can still be entertained and he hyped is right because that Krit intro on forever is a mighty long time makes me so ecstatic.
*I NEVER heard of black thought but I'm definitely gonna check his material out.*
Thank u Aries 👏👏👏👏👏
Aries is speaking truth!
Vlad, give Black Thought his due. The lyrical display he put on in that freestyle is one of the greatest. He didn't repeat any thought processes on that joint. He worked several different flows that are actually old school flows. His metaphor game was ridiculous. His breath control was amazing. You're not being fair. So what he's been with the Roots. He is no different than 2 Pac & the Outlaws, Biggie & Junior Mafia, Juice Crew. He's been the primary rapper for the Roots since the 90s. I don't think you really understand what hip hop really was. Btw, It takes Two wasn't the worst. The worst was JJ Fad. Maybe you didn't realize but Rob Base had already been rapping for a few years before It takes Two came out. He put out a party joint to get on. If you saw who he rolled with it should give you an idea of what lyricism he was capable of.
I never comment on your videos but I do enjoy watching them. I would just put it in this perspective. If Rakim, Nas, Common, Black Thought, Notorious B.I.G., Big Daddy Kane, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Tupac, Hammer, Eminem and Vanilla Ice are your team and they win a championship. Hammer and Vanilla Ice still get rings. Hip Hop/Rap means different things to different people. I grew up listening to Kurtis Blow and Run DMC. As I got older I started listening to A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Roots, Nas and Common. With this generation I like Kendrick Lamar and Wale. I guess I’m a lyrical purists. A nice beat and record sales are all good and to some that’s important. I just recognize that to appreciate the greatness of Rakim you need the counter balance of a Trinidad James.
Vlad you need to study the history of hip-hop you get an F
"we don't hate on ya'll 'cause you young. we hate on y'all 'cause you lazy". it's true. so much of what hip hop built is now on a silver platter for kids now. beats are easier to create. pro sound quality is easier to produce. exposure and distribution is a few clicks. you don't even have to write your own stuff. they're standing on the shoulders of geniuses but have no idea that it's their job to keep pushing the art form forward.
Or whatever let rap crumble and become pop. it will come back strong at some point.
Thank you thank you thank you Aries.
Aires just keeping it 100
Outkast Were Both 18 years old When they dropped they're first album. Facts!
Add Tragedy Khadafi/Intelligent Hoodlum's first album when he was 18, EPMD was both 19, A-F-R-O was only 16 when he was gettin' busy, Mobb Deep (16-18), Del The Funky Homosapien (19), Lil Mac/Mac The Camouflaged Assassin (12), Rakim (19), UGK (they was 18-19 on the first album). As a matter of fact, Twista was only 18 when he first came out.
Elvin Solano Yep, Exactly! Preach!
Vlad just dont get it
Aries is one of the funniest dudes out there
Bout time someone said this shit!!!
Black thought is a cut above pure class
Yes!
So Vlad taking credit for Black Thought “elevating his game”. FOH!!
bpedwa1 word !Vlad a clown
Hell yeah vlad is a fucking clown
Percee P is the legendary rhyme inpechter. Interview him! Bars and bars for days and he rocked songs with all the best lyricists.
LMAO he said Black Thought isn't on J Cole's level as an MC 😂😂😂😂😂
Lord Jamar said it TOTALLY!! nobody can fuck with BLACK THOUGHT
Vlad ALWAYS talking about the popular as the greatest
Rob base It Takes 2 had SOUL you can't feel Vlad.
Well said hat's off to the Legend☝🏽
